Synopsis
A thoughtful collection of essays on anthropology, empire, and the study of humankind from a purposefully British perspective. It offers a clear look at how scholars abroad and at home view the science of man.
This volume gathers Sir Harry Johnston’s views and reviews on the development and place of anthropology in Britain and the wider world. It reflects on the early history of the field, its public image, and the way national interests have shaped scientific study. Readers will encounter historical context, debates, and comparisons with European approaches to studying peoples and cultures.
Through narrative and analysis, the book examines the connections between science, education, and public policy, and how anthropological research has been funded and supported in different eras. It also touches on the interplay between empire, exploration, and the study of human diversity.
- Historical overview of anthropology’s development in Britain and beyond
- Discussion of how science, government, and education interact with research
- Profiles of key figures and institutions shaping the field
- Insights into the relationship between empire and the study of humankind
Ideal for readers of historical science writing, scholarly essays, and anyone curious about the roots of modern anthropology.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a series of essays on anthropology and its relationship to the British Empire. The author, an experienced anthropologist, argues that despite its significance, the study of anthropology is chronically underfunded and that Britain's anthropologists are consequently restricted in their research. The author maintains that anthropology is essential to understanding the worldâs diverse peoples and cultures. The author examines racial problems, the rise of native populations, the preservation of fauna and flora and the importance of accurate anthropology research in informing public policy. The author laments that in countries like Britain, despite its vast global empire, anthropology has been relegated to a curiosity, often seen as irrelevant to the concerns of the state and society. However, the author insists, only by embracing accurate anthropological research can we hope to understand the world and our place within it. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
